I enjoyed the humor in some of Quantum's quick clips and comments. This was entertaining to listen to. I had a feel of a few different blends in this creation. Fantasy, 1950's, Matrix, and more. I enjoyed this story to the end and look forward to seeing Quantum get stronger and venture in the virtual world again to help more people.

Quantum Hughes has been stuck in The Loop of a virtual game for nearly two years. Reliving the same day, over and over killing the assassins who come for him. Until one day he receives a message from Frances Euphoria claiming to have returned for him. Things change in the world, the way they interact with him and more.
Jeff is one of the amazing narrators I know I love listening to. He adds entertainment to the stories by voicing them all completely different. Each character has their own voice and personality. I love it! You can feel the moments in them, like when sarcastic along with humor and more. The different voices, for male and female, makes it tremendously easy to quickly differentiate the characters and get a feel for the story.
Sometimes the books of being stuck in a virtual game or video game are boring for me. I just feel as they are the same read written by a different person. This one, however, felt more alive to me. Quantum felt to be connected to his world he was stuck in. Even though it repeated he was use to a pattern and it became something he relied on. When it all changes, Quantum tries to slip back to what he knows best even though he doesn't want to be here any longer. This book was strong character wise.
The world in which Quantum lives has a 1950's feel with a dark dreariness to the places Quantum visits. There is danger with a higher tech feel as it's a virtual game setting he's stuck in that combines the elements. It's neat because we get small phrases from the time frame. Yet it's a fantasy setting as well with assassins.
What do you do to not get bored repeating the same day for nearly two years? Quantum tries changing up the weapon he kills the assassins coming after him with. This I found humorous at times. He does different things and goes different places, but you can only do so much after 544 days have passed.

Couldn't finish it after about 25% completion. It wasn't poorly written, just couldn't get into it.

The Feedback Loop is one of those stories that's a bit hard to describe. It's also not a book I would ever find myself reading or enjoying as much as I did. It definitely surprised me, and I love when books do that.
Imagine yourself stuck inside a Grand Theft Auto-esque video game, but rather than playing it and logging out when you're done, you're stuck inside it, unable to change things. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day. Or Fox Mulder in the X-Files episode titled Monday(which is one of my favorite episodes, by the way). It becomes your life. Rather than doing the missions and changing things up, you're doing the same, mind-numbingly violent things day in and day out. Like stealing a car, running over some people, getting the cops hot on your tail, and then either dying by your own hand or having them kill you. That's how I pictured the setting of The Feedback Loop.
Quantum Hughes is the main character in the story. He's been living the same events of the virtual reality world he's trapped in over and over again for almost two years. Needless to say, he's becoming increasingly bored and frustrated. He also has a some serious issues with violence. He feels like he's destined to spend the rest of his life dealing with the same NPCs (non-playable characters) and doing the same old things without change.
Enter Frances Euphoria. That's all I'm gonna say. When she arrives, Quantum's life inside the game will never be the same.
So, as I stated above, this normally isn't the type of book I would usually read. However, The Feedback Loop is well-written and engaging, and I found myself sucked into the storyline, eager to find out how the book was going to end. Other than a few errors here and there that could easily be fixed with some editing, I rather enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. Even if you're a bit hesitant like I was, I can guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised by how good it is.
There's action, suspense, drama, and a hint of romance, too. You'll find yourself flipping through the pages, anxious to see what might happen next. Definitely a unique read. I rate it four stars!

This was marketed as litRPG but it really isn't. There's a guy in a video game, but that's it. There are none of the usual frames or conventions, and honestly it feels like almost zero plot. The guy is stuck in a groundhog day style loop where everyone around him is apparently homicidal, and he basically spends his days amusing himself by gruesomely killing everyone around him in new and creative ways. It was unbearably boring and so pointless.

Good one, different. Loved the different items. Definitely will read more, though the MC was a little slow on the uptake about things.
